bedrock server info on server selection page

Hey all, I am trying to host a server for me, my brother, and a couple nieces and nephews. I have tried windows, ubuntu, and MineOS as a host for bedrock server 1.20.1.02. I have been able to access all the servers via, Local IP and port, my routers public IP and port, and through cloudflare DNS and Nginx Proxy Manager. My problem is that half of the time, the server doesn't show up on the "Friends" tab when on a local network, and connecting to anything but the local IP on the "Servers" tab doesn't give me polling data about the server. Example, Private IP 192.168.X.X:19132 - Online 0/10 - Ping 1 Public IP XX.XX.XX.XX - Locating... CF DNS FQDN.net - Locating... However, I can connect to all of them regardless of it saying "Locating..." Has anyone else experienced this/have a fix to it? Thanks in adavance!

alright so a few things that can have gone wrong here is cloudflare A record set to Proxy
Poncho42
Poncho42OP2y ago
it is set to DNS record only and is pointed at my public IP.

alright so the reason u cant connect to it on your pc is probably because of hairpin nat/loopback nat try another device thats outside your home network or use https://mcsrvstat.us/

So. the interesting thing, is that I can connect to it across local, public IP and CloudFlare DNS, I just can't see any of the server info on the page I've also been able to connect to it using my phone and at my fiances house mcsrvstat pulled all of the correct information

tell them to manually add ur server ? look up what ur public ip is and give it to them otherwise I don't understand what you mean it's not gonna show up in friends tab cause it's a dedicated server cause like u can't add a server as a friend? or I don't reallt know whay you mean
Poncho42
Poncho42OP2y ago
in the "friends" tab it will show you local servers that appear on you LAN. Example, someone playing a local game that they open up to LAN. Or a local dedicated server My issues is directly related not getting ping information or amount of people on the server on the "servers" page.

Poncho42OP2y ago
As listed in the post, I haven't been able to get that specific feature to work correctly on windows, Ubuntu, and MineOS

No. it is the vanilla Bedrock server from the minecraft website. and https://mcsrvstat.us/ shows that it can see all of the relevant information. but bedrock minecraft cannot see that information.

That is one of the pages I'm talking about. I can see everything that I need to there. its on the "Servers" page, if I put in my public IP I cannot see Ping or Player count in the servers page.

Zaid2y ago
you cant do it yourself someone externally has to check
Poncho42
Poncho42OP2y ago
If i put local IP in on the servers page. I can see those stats. But the moment I try to put it to my public IP i can't see that info
Zaid
Zaid2y ago
you cant use ur own public ip to connect
Poncho42
Poncho42OP2y ago

Zaid
Zaid2y ago

Poncho42
Poncho42OP2y ago

Zaid
Zaid2y ago

Poncho42
Poncho42OP2y ago

Zaid
Zaid2y ago

Poncho42
Poncho42OP2y ago

Zaid
Zaid2y ago
I just allowed dms yeah so you cant use your own public ip to connect this is normal behavior
Poncho42
Poncho42OP2y ago
that seems like a stupid "feature"
ProGamingDk
ProGamingDk2y ago
if your router doesnt support Hairpin nat/loopback nat then it wont allow u if ur on the same network, but only if
Poncho42
Poncho42OP2y ago
but also, like why can I connect using public IP and port and play, but I don't get the info
Zaid
Zaid2y ago
because loopback nat probably doesn't exist for u
ProGamingDk
ProGamingDk2y ago
what are u on about
Zaid
Zaid2y ago

ProGamingDk
ProGamingDk2y ago
if it was loopback nat that was the problem he wouldnt even be able to connect
Zaid
Zaid2y ago

ProGamingDk
ProGamingDk2y ago
